Hello from Nanaimo
Carmen Beattie

Hi Don,

I'm Jim Beattie's daughter.  I think we only met once - in Montreal about ten years ago - but I'll never forget.  You showed us a cartoon you had drawn to promote safe sex, I believe it was called Jimmy the Penis and Vicky Vagina.

 I'm taking media studies in school and have recently been re-introduced to the National Film Board, such an integral part of Canada's identity.

I was reminded of you and wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the work you've done.  I've watched your animations over the years and will certainly seek them out again.  

I stayed with Anna when she and the boys returned from their January visit - they were glad to spend time with you.  Although we haven't spent time together, I know that we share family who love you dearly.

All the best and love to you,

Carmen
